Hi everyone, hope your weekend is going well!,
Well, I was looking at the material editor today. It did not look to bad. I then found myself in the advanced material editor. That is one ugly looking beast. I could not figure out what was what in there. I am sure in time it will somehow come together.
I have a question regarding a one of the downloads I bought over at geekatplays.
It is called Moab Pack. I am really confused what to do with some of these things. I do not know much about the content folder yet. I know if I add to a folder, like materials/metals and just drop files into it without a subfolder, I have to go into vue, delete the metals out of the materials browser, then click att collection & put them back in order for them to show up in the browser.
I managed to put one folder into its right place, because they had a subfolder with a name that went with the contents. There are others however, that do not have that.
For examples there is one folder called water. It contains a file called jungleswamp. Now do I put it in the materials folder under water as the folder reads, or do I move it to liquids where the other water is, folder & all, or do I take it out of the folder & put the file in liquids?
All these files have a relationship to each other, so I cannot just guess at where to put them. They are part some project. Rocks and landscapes folders have loose files in them, no sub folder. Do I just drop the loose files in these folders? They have a relation to the terrains files or prt files. The terrain folder of this download called terrains has no sub-folder, just loose files.
Another folder called functions. I have no idea what this folder even does. It sounds important. The Functions folder to is just loose fnc files, no sub folder. Do I just drop them loosely into the fuctions folder?
The model folder, which I assume is an object did have a sub-folder called Metablobs. They are vob files. Anyways, the only file folder that went beyond the first level was the one with metablobs in it. I hope this makes sense.
I have sent geeksat play an email yesterday. Been waiting on him. I have used poser pro 2012 & the file system there has to be just right or else you are made to search manually for the files. I hope this program is not that fussy.
IF anyone has downloaded this product, I would really appreciate knowing what you did.
I would have thought he'd have a simple readme file in his products. I guess its not done with vue.
Thanks
